Team News

Chelsea
Sheff Utd
  • Chelsea head into this one with no fewer than 12 players potentially absent.
  • The Blues have seen club captain Reece James suffer yet another setback, this time the England international is set to miss as many as three months with a hamstring issue.
  • Nicolas Jackson could come back into the side after Armando Broja started at Everton last weekend.
  • Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and defender Marc Cucurella are both set for spells on the sidelines, after picking up injuries last time out.
  • Sheffield United welcome back Oliver Norwood and Oli McBurnie from respective suspensions, but Jack Robinson must now serve a one-match ban for five yellow cards.
  • Returning boss Chris Wilder should look to go with a similar XI to that which earned all three points against Brentford last time out.

Prediction

  • Chelsea have now lost three of their last four league matches, having fallen to away defeats at both Manchester United and Everton last week.
  • The Blues remain confined to the bottom half of the Premier League, with goal difference the only thing keeping them as high as 12th.
  • Sheffield United ended a run of four games without a victory last time out, with James McAtee's goal the difference against Brentford.
  • The Blades remain bottom of the Premier League, level on points with Burnley in 19th, but with an 11-goal deficit when it comes to goal difference.
  • A plucky performance from the away side here could see them earn a point, but Chelsea are unbeaten in their last three matches at home, and should just about get the job done here.
